Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:13-20

In Him All the Fullness Dwells

Intro.

1. Pride prevents many souls from believing and following Jesus Christ.

a. No doubt that God has given human beings great position and power; ought to compel faith and humility, Gen. 1:26; Psa. 8:4-8.

b. Pride elevated Adam and Eve in the garden, and ever since it has been a deadly weapon in Satan’s arsenal against us to hinder and destroy faith and righteousness.

2. Col. 1:18-19: The preeminence of Christ is the theme of Colossians. He is complete (full) in every way.

3. Christ’s preeminence and fullness compel us to totally surrender to Him: “I surrender all” (Lk. 6:46; 18:28).

-I surrender all: John 20:28

B. Over all the Forces of the Spirit and Material Worlds, 1:16-17; cf. Mk. 3:11-12; 4:35-41.

1. This demands our prayers trust His rule over all things, Acts 4:24.

2. The One who made and sustains everything will use them to our benefit and His glory, Col. 4:2.

C. Over Time, 1:17 (He is eternal), Jno. 8:58 (Micah 5:2).

1. Demands that we redeem the time we have, Eph. 5:16.

2. Choose to use your time to obey and honor Christ, not selfishly indulge the flesh (sin).

D. Over the Church, 1:18 (1:13); Eph. 1:22-23.

1. Demands that we are members of His church, or we are lost, Acts 2:38-41, 47; Eph. 5:23.

2. Demands that we are holy members of it, Eph. 5:25-27; 1 Pet. 2:5 (Col. 1:22).

E. Over Death, 1:18; Jno. 11:25-26.

1. “Do you believe this?” (11:26)

2. If so, then… 1 Cor. 15:29-34, 58.

a. Risk danger and death for this gospel truth, 15:29-31.

b. Fight the good fight of faith, 15:32.

c. Do not be deceived by the world, 15:33.

d. Awake to righteousness and do not sin, 15:34.

III. THE FULLNESS OF REDEMPTION, Col. 1:20-22; cf. Gal. 4:4.

A. By His Blood (Sacrificial Death), Col. 1:14.

B. Forgiveness of Sins: Release from Sin’s Bondage and Death, Rom. 6:17-18 (Eph. 1:7).

C. An Inheritance, Col. 1:22, 12; Eph. 1:11.

-I surrender all:

1. Be saved by obedient faith, Mk. 16:15-16; Acts 2:38.

2. Continue in the faith to be presented holy (obtain the hope of the gospel), Col. 1:22-23 (5); cf. 1 Pet. 1:4-5.

Conclusion

1. Col. 1:9-12: The fullness of Christ compels our full surrender to Christ...
